Busy, busy weekend

This was a pretty busy weekend with lots of running around to do. On Friday i went up to visit daddy at the property in the morning and i got to see a really big trac-tor dig a hole. There were lots of people up there working and making lots of noise. Later that afternoon I went to visit some of my buddy's and had a shy moment where i sat on mummy's knee and gathered my inner self and my over abundant energy. Then it was full steam!

On Saturday, there was more errands to do and some housework. My cousin Craig came over to help daddy and then stayed for dinner and chased me around till I had to go to bed.

On Sunday, mummy and auntie Leasa and Kim and i went shopping in Vancouver to the big stores. I decided to show mummy that i was a big boy and not have any naps (that and auntie Leasa was too entertaining in the car so I couldn't go to sleep and leave her to talk to herself in the back seat!) We went to a store called IKEA and wow there is lots of things there to see. Mummy let me out and auntie Kim chased me all through the light department and then mummy chased me through the rugs. Mummy kept telling me to slow down cause people don't watch out when you run into them at full steam. After we spent some of daddy's money there we went to everyone's favourite store "The Disney Store" where mummy let me loose again and i touched all the fun toys. Then i ran out of the store right into some clear glass near the top and looked down at all the people on the ground.

Afterwards we went and waited in the car while my aunties finished shopping (for iced caps) and mummy let me drive the car and test out all the switchy things and lights. When we got home mummy showed me all the neat toys she bought me. i am now the proud owner of my very own cookware so that i can help mummy cook meals. I also got a neat soft soccer ball and three new books and a spify red chair.

Mummy thought I would fall asleep when i got home but I was being a big boy and stuck it out to 8:30 before i gave in the towel and fell asleep. Then to make it even better i didn't sleep in today and I only had a 1.5 hr nap. i think I might be tired tomorrow!

Corn cobs & hairdo's

Mummy loves the summer cause you can get all sorts of fun food and she has been doing her best to introduce all of them to me. The other day I got my first taste of corn on the cob. This is really fun food to eat cause it's one where you are actually encouraged to use your hands (it also makes a great noise when you throw it on the floor and watch it roll)

So far i have expanded my dietary consumption to include - blueberries, raspberries, fresh peas, cherries, peaches, nectarines and plums. I must say that most of them leave a pretty colour on your clothes and face and that they are super fun to squish in your fingers.

Yesterday i also got another haircut so that I can have a cool head for the summer (personally I think it leaves more flesh for the squitos to bite). Mummy says that I look adorable and something about how she wishes that my temper would match my cuteness!

I'm not sure what she means by that!!!!!

Hot times = cool relief

Well it sure has been hot the last few days and you can't beat the refreshing feel of hitting the pool and cooling off.

Mummy put my wading pool on the patio and has been filling it up every morning so that I can splash around and entertain my grandmas. I have been very busy adding as many toys to the water plus a few towels (pretty shocking huh that I would do someting like that!). I also like to take all the water out and try to bring it back into the house (unfortunately mummy was sitting in the doorway and got in the way of my tossing the water back onto the floor- sorry I soaked you mummy!)

When the evening rolls around and it's time to sit back and relax, I like to sit in the cool basement with daddy and toss back a couple bottles of the good stuff.

Just like the big boys do!

We got a new "ac-tor"!

Daddy went and bought me a real live "ac-tor" and boy is it bigger than the ones I push around. I love my new ac-tor and now everytime i go up to the property i want to drive it rather than play in the dirt. But I have to let my daddy use it right now cause he needs to dig some holes so I have been very nice and patient while he drives my toy around. Apparentaly I also need to let mummy learn to drive it too! I guess I better learn to share or mummy and daddy might throw a hissy fit!

Party on Canada!!!

Daddy & I and my cousins Tessa & Meagen went to Abbotsford yesterday to celebrate Canada Day with mummy and tons of people. Mummy had to work and she told daddy that there was lots of fun things for me to see and do. She was right! I had a great afternoon and I got my first big sugar rush cause daddy let me eat the whole candy necklace that mummy got for me (yup and the end result was some very, very stinky smells!)

Afterwards we went to my aunt and uncle's house for dinner (I didn't feel like eating though cause i was having too much fun running around - "sugar rush still in effect"). But alas i came down from that rush with a bang and so i didn't get to stay up and watch the fireworks (I did wake up again at 3:30 though just to make some noise).

So happy birthday Canada, can't wait till next year's party!
